  • bread crumbs
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded

  • Parmesan cheese enough to sprinkle on top
  • salt
  • pepper

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise. If necessary, trim a little off the bottom so it will sit still in a baking dish.
  • With a spoon, scoop out some of the center where the seeds are to make a little groove in the zucchini boats.
  • Place zucchini in a baking dish and brush the boats with olive oil, spread the minced garlic and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange the halved tomatoes on the boats and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, turn on the broiler, place mozzarella and basil in between the tomatoes, and put them back in the oven to broil for a few minutes until golden and bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle on some parmesan cheese.
